Allen Vigil, Michael Vigil, Dennis Kerce, & Jeff Murrell 

My family and I want to express our sincere appreciation for your help on Saturday June 2, 2012. While in route from Louisville Kentucky to our family vacation in Florida, the alternator in our 2000 E150 custom van failed. With the help of our GPS, we located your dealership and although we arrived just minutes before your closing time your team did not hesitate to help. Words can not express how thankful and grateful we were for your kind and caring attitude. Your efforts resulted our being able to continue on our way with very little disruption to our vacation plans.

During our vacation throughout the week, we kept telling ourselves and others how lucky we were to have found Allan Vigil Ford Lincoln and how friendly and caring everyone was during our brief visit. We just could not believe what we had experienced. You could have said sorry we are closing. You could have said sorry we do not have the parts. Although you did not have an alternator in stock, you went to the trouble to pull an alternator from an abandoned 2001 F150 you had in your service area. Not only did you stay open, find an alternator, and install the alternator, you did so without charge for either the part or the labor because Jeff Murrell said he could not guarantee the reliability of the alternator. We still can not believe what we experienced.

After returning home, without further trouble I might add, we looked up your web site and your “Why Choose Vigil?” answered our questions. We now know it was the “Vigil Touch”. Please thank your entire team for such a pleasant experience.

Thanks so very much to your extraordinary service.

Garry, Lois, & Lori
